This one messes with your expectations right away. You’d swear it’s a dark chocolate — at a glance, deep and familiar brown in colour — but it’s actually a white chocolate. Well, actually it's a purple one (so saturated by the over 20 blackberries in every bar). So it’s not actually dense, brown, or even familiar — this white chocolate is actually vegan! Made with just cocoa butter, unrefined cane sugar, and blackberries, that simplicity really shows. Instead of being full-blown cloying, artificial, or candy-like — which it very easily could have been — it stays clean, restrained, and grounded in real fruit flavour. The blackberry is vivid, with its natural tartness intact, and the sweetness never takes over. It’s a genuinely grown-up bar.

Kasama Chocolate is based out of Vancouver’s iconic Granville Island, a renowned hub for artists, crafters, and, above all, a really great food market. Founded in 2015 by Vincent, Stefan, Oliver, and Dominik — four long-time friends who chose the Tagalog word ‘Kasama,’ meaning friendship, camaraderie, and collaboration, to embody their ethos. The company’s connection to the Philippines goes beyond its name. They partnered with the University of British Columbia’s Centre for Sustainable Food Systems, local farmers, and small community stakeholders to initiate a sustainable cacao planting and research project in Cagayan Province, near the Sierra Madre mountains in Northern Luzon. This initiative underscores their commitment to supporting local communities and advancing sustainable agricultural practices. In addition to their Filipino project, Kasama sources cocoa from at least eight other countries, always prioritizing direct relationships with small farmers to ensure fair trade and sustainability. Their bars have plenty of awards to support this curator’s personal opinion that they are one of North America’s premier bean-to-bar chocolate producers.

For millennia, wild heritage cacao beans have thrived in the high elevations of the ancient Inca empire. Cusco, a city and department in southeastern Peru, was once the empire's capital and remains the gateway to the famed Machu Picchu. While tourism drives the economy, gold and natural gas extraction, along with agriculture, are also significant. Farmers focus heavily on crops like native corn, quinoa, tea, and coffee, but in pre-colonial times, Cusco was the leader in cacao production. The Urubamba Valley, a central hub for modern cocoa cultivation, served as a vital trade route between the Andes and the Amazon jungle. It was also where the last Incan emperor, Manco Inca, sought refuge from Spanish conquistadors.
